The sale, at a combined 4% premium to September 2017 book value, is in line with Helical's strategic shift to concentrate on office developments and investments in London and Manchester.

Tom Anderson, Senior Investment Executive at Helical, said: "These recent sales are another step along the way for Helical as we focus our portfolio on primarily office-led activity within London and Manchester. The sale follows a series of non-core disposals including our retirement living and retail assets."
